Plant ID please
Hi all,
I have split up a winter patio planter with the aim of planting out each of the plants in the garden to give a bit more evergreen backdrop for next winter.
The only problem is I am not sure what the plants are, and therefore am not sure where the best position would be for them in the garden.
Any help identifying these would be greatly appreciated:
1 - I think this first one may be a Euonymus Silver Queen - but I would appreciate confirmation.
2 - I think this may also be a Euonymus (I seem to remember seeing one in the garden centre), but I'm not sure which one.
3 - No idea about this one...
4 - Or this one...
5 - Or this one either...
6 - This is obviously one of those dyed heathers - but it would be very helpful to know what type of heather it is. Also - I assume that the blue colour will grow out and it will revert to its natural colour over time...
Many thanks, in advance, for all your help.
Col.

Not sure how this ended up in the Talkback forum - I thought I had posted it in the Plants forum. Is it possible to move it to the correct section?
Thanks
2 could be Euonymus fortunei 'Golden Harlequin'
4 is a cineraria
3 is Viburnum tinus, often sold as babies for baskets.
I don't know if the dip-dyed heathers recover from the experience

5 looks like a grass - Pampas probably.
5 is a young Cordyline Australis.
I did think Cordyline but was put off with the growth. I suppose as an immature plant it would look like that before forming a trunk.
I think that's what it is. They're in those winter container mixes you find in GCs.
